William S. Paley bestowed special awards during special ceremonies attended by dignitaries from the military, news groups, and probably officials of government. Paley, with the help of a nominating committee of representatives from such groups selected individual members of the Amateur Radio Service who showed initiative and leadership while working to provide communications during times of disaster when other communications failed.
1937 is when Mr. Paley chose to honor the first radio amateur, Walter Stiles Jr. of Coudersport, PA. for heroic efforts in the 1936 Alleghany River floods.
The second winner was Robert T. Anderson of Harrisburg, Illinois, for communications work in the Ohio River floods of 1937.
W. E. Burgiss of Westerly, R.I. provided emergency radio work during the hurricane and tidal wave in 1938.
No suitable candidate for the award, as then constituted, was found for 1939. The scope was then broadened to include outstanding work done by an amateur during any time in the past.
For this honor, Marshall H. Ensor was a perfect fit. The welfare of his country was measurably improved by the boost of new amateurs due to his superior methods of teaching through the use of his hand made reliable and powerful transmitter coupled with proven teaching ability. The American Radio Relay League credited Marshall for teaching better than all others. This was done from the radio room inside the Dairy Farm home he had grown up on just South of Olathe, Kansas.
